Statements

Hello

Can you have a bank statement posted to your bank rather than your household address?

Thanks

    Strange question!! :o
    So can the bank post your statement to you c/o itself? :confused:

    Your bank can print off statements for you directly if you go in the branch and ask them. Depends what you want it for though. I'm not sure they'd do this for you as a regular thing, but as a one-off sure.

    Alternatively, you could move away from paper statements and get them all online.
    Why the question?

    Your statements are private mail and addressed to you so no-one else should be opening them or looking at them.
    Hard to persuade parents of that fact though I suppose.

    Really?? Which bank are you with? Most will let you have access under 16.

    And not that this will help much but your parents are breaking the law by opening your mail if you are worried about them reading it. Not that you would turn your own parents into the law-lol, but they shouldn't open your post-that's your independence.

    No you cannot, however you can opt out of receiving statements altogether. Do what I did and tell your parents to NOT open your mail.

    If you have £120 a year to spend you can have all your mail forwarded to your local Post Office for your collection.
